Scientific paper

We report on our collaboration to obtain photometric data on the near-Earth asteroid (143651) 2003 QO104 in support of radar observations. Our initial data indicated a slowly rotating asteroid, which allowed radar observers to change their observing schedule accordingly. After obtaining data from 2009 March through April, we were able to determine a synodic period of 115 ± 1 h and amplitude of 1.60 ± 0.05 mag. There are indications that the asteroid may be in nonprincipal axis rotation, i.e., tumbling.
